Angels 2000

Arsen Savadov's photographic work, "Angels," presents us with a landscape that feels both primordial and surreal. The texture of the rock formation dominates the composition, creating a dramatic backdrop against which figures and objects are staged. The figures adorned with wings are striking. However, the wings are simply elements within a larger structure, hinting at transcendence yet firmly grounded. The boat, the staircase, and even the scattered wings are presented with a similar sense of displacement, interrupting any easy reading. It is as if Savadov is deliberately destabilizing established notions of the sacred and the mundane. Ultimately, "Angels" compels us to reconsider how signs and symbols function within a constructed reality. It's a visual poem that invites multiple interpretations, reminding us that meaning is not fixed.
